According to sources, the baby was wrapped in a bag after the abortion was carried out.

The baby was found in à 20 litre water container thrown in the bush.

However those who knew the latter in the neighborhood, later began asking questions which were finally answered at the end of the day.

Innformed, the territorial brigade of Kaélé, alongside an intelligence system set up by chief warrant officer, Abakachi Saidu, arrived at the scene.

It actually took a visit to Mairamou’s family, to realize that her own mother was accomplice in the abortion of the pregnancy.

“I and my elements went down to the field, to carry out in-depth investigations” Said the Brigade Commander

“How can a girl commit such a crime with the complicity of her mother, the one who is supposed to give advice to her daughter” said a neighbor.
